CHAPTER 8
Curcumin and
Digestive Disorders
T
ime after time, curcumin has proven its value in treating a
wide variety of digestive disorders, largely because of its anti-
inflammatory effects.
Digestive disorders range from mild indigestion to life-control-
ling irritable bowel syndrome to life-threatening diseases like ulcer-
ative colitis and colorectal cancer.
Each year, 62 million Americans are diagnosed with some form
of digestive disorder.
Irritable bowel syndrome, a complex and unpredictable basket
of painful problems ranging from diarrhea to constipation and
cramping, bloating and pain, goes largely undiagnosed with an esti-
mated 75% of sufferers not getting medical treatment at all.
Colorectal cancer kills about 150,000 people every year, and
ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease make life a living hell for
140,000 Americans.
Liver disease is included in this category because of the liver’s
key role in the digestive process.
HERE COMES THE GOLDEN KNIGHT AGAIN
Because inflammation is a major factor in all digestive disorders,
curcumin is predictably very effective in helping prevent, treat and
heal many digestive problems.
